   The picture the BBC have used on the processed meat story is really making me want a bacon sandwich, depsite the early death warning.

   Agree
   It really is self defeating.
   You can't show a photo of a bacon sandwich and not expect people to go...mmmmmmm
   OK...Little Chef have been doing it for years and McDonalds are getting there....but generally it's impossible.

   Last night I was so hungry I could have eaten a horse. As that is apparently unacceptable and has resulted in the reduction of available beef ready meals on the shelves of my local supermarket, I opted instead for a wonderful fry up. Bacon, sausages, black pudding... The works. Imagine my overwhelming lack of giving a shit when I discovered this morning that, according to yet another dietary kill-joy, rather than feeling satisfied, replete and quite healthy (having thoroughly enjoyed consuming various forms of fried pig) I should now be laid out on a mortuary slab!

   PROCESSED FOOD generally is the problem - we were designed to eat raw meat, fish and veggies.

   Refined sugar/salt, trans fats, and too much charring on the meat ...cancerous ...but oh so very yummy.

   Saturated fats are fine, actually. It is just we used to burn off about 4x as much only a couple of generations ago.

   I don't care if that is unscientific - common sense innit.

   squudge; it’s unlikely that our pre-agricultural ancestors ate much bread, as there wasn’t any. So, step away from the crusty loaf - it’s dangerous.

   We were also designed to live in caves and die before 30. Things have moved on a bit since we invented fire.
   Today I have got couscous and whole meal pitta for lunch instead of my normal bacon baguette. That should increase my life by about 30 seconds.

    Sorry Sigmund. Should read; We have evolved a bit since then.
    This arguement that our ancestors didn't get cancer is bollock though. It is not that they ate healthier its is because they didn't live long enough and couldn't diagnose it anyway. Life expectancy has increased quite a lot since we stopped just eating wild berries and raw flesh.

    tis true that cancer got to our ancestors, if they didn't die of more immediate hazards sooner. But you can make things harder for your bod, by where you stick it and what you stick in it. That goes for all living things - except oddly enough mole rats. They seem to be invulnerable to cancer.

    I have just satisfied my craving for processed pork with a lovely slice of Gala pie and a packet of cheese and onion. I await my imminent death.

    I just had a small forkfull of the smoked couscous I prepared last night. Bloody foul! I'll have to nip to the cafe for a bacon butty to get rid of the taste.

    John Terry doesn't strike me as the sort of person who eats cous cous BJ. But he is pointing at something, maybe that's the cafe that he's going to have to go to.

    Terry is saying ' go over there, you gentleman of non-european ancestry and unmarried parentage!' Or words to that effect.
